"Since Wu Sangui captured His Majesty Yongli and detained him in Kunming, Kunming City was attacked more than forty times in one month."
"Wu Sangui is worried that if this continues, His Majesty Yongli will be rescued by his hands."
"So, he sent his Manchu soldiers to escort the emperor north to the capital!"
"However, the Manchu soldiers who escorted the emperor northward, after arriving in Chengdu, actually supported the emperor on the throne and issued widespread propaganda saying that they wanted to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty."
"Now His Majesty Yongli's troops, together with the remnants of the Chu army in Kuidong, have swept through most of Sichuan and gathered a large number of Green Camp troops. They are now preparing to attack Chongqing."
Zhu Hongyu couldn't help but frown, this matter is troublesome!
"How could the Manchu soldiers rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty? Are they sick?"
Zhu Hongyu asked.
In later generations, he did hear that there was a Manchu soldier who wanted to support Yongli and rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.
But he thought it was just a rumor, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Zheng Chenggong also frowned and opened his mouth to clear Zhu Hongyu's doubts.
"That Manchurian soldier is the remnant of the Two Blue Banners, Jilharang!"
"Because they were afraid of the liquidation of the Qing court, they supported Emperor Yongli and wanted to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!"
During the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, not only the Ming army's court was filled with a group of party-fighting experts, but the Qing army was also the same.
When the Qing Dynasty first entered the country, there was a fight between Dorgon and Haoge, and there was also a fight between Bu Mu Butai on both sides, hoping to keep his son's throne.
After Hauge's death, there was a dispute between Dorgon and the people of the late emperor's line. As the war in Guan progressed, Dorgon's ambitions expanded. He did not want to continue to be the emperor. His father slept with the emperor's mother, but wanted to
Give yourself a lower rank and become the emperor yourself.
Of course Huang Taiji's group of men couldn't agree!
You, Dorgon, have already slept with my master’s woman, and you still want the throne?
Beautiful you!
After Dorgon died, the dispute between Jierhalang and Huang Taiji's men started again.
Jierhalang felt that since Dorgon could be the regent for the emperor's father and coerced the emperor into sleeping with the queen mother, then it wouldn't be too much for him to be the regent for his uncle, right?
The worst he can do is not sleep with the Queen Mother!
Then, Jilharang disappeared.
A large number of his soldiers and horses were liquidated, and many of them were deprived of their official titles and sent to serve in the army.
However, even so, the Manchu and Qing courts continued to target the remnants of Jierhalang.
Let them fight the hardest battles and share the smallest spoils, and even the military merits they have achieved will be withheld.
Especially during the massacre and plundering of the city, the two blue flags were even ranked behind the Mongolian and Han military flags...
Can this be tolerated?
All in all, the period when the Manchus first entered the country was quite chaotic.
The matter of party struggle and Ming Dynasty belong to the eldest brother. Don’t laugh at the second brother!
It's just a pity that when the Manchus and Qing Dynasties were fighting among themselves, they knew that they had to take the overall situation into consideration, but the Ming army didn't know that.
I think that the soldiers and horses of Zhenglan Banner must have been forced by the Qing court, and then they thought of supporting Yongli and rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Hongyu and Zheng Chenggong looked at each other, and Zheng Chenggong asked.
"What do you think of this matter?"
Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, and then spoke.
"The Carry Ceremony is about to begin!"
"The propaganda department of the military government has carried out large-scale publicity for the enthronement ceremony. The news that I will ascend to supervise the country has spread throughout Luzon."
"It's too late to say anything now!"
"Let the carry ceremony proceed as usual!"
If the news of Yongli's rescue could have come out before the propaganda department publicized the fact that he had ascended the throne to supervise the country.
Although Zhu Hongyu is eager to go further, for the sake of resisting the Qing Dynasty and taking the overall situation into consideration, he will definitely not rashly choose to take over the position of supervising the country now.
But now it’s really too late!
Zheng Chenggong nodded and said.
"Emperor Yongli has regained half of Sichuan. When the wise son-in-law comes to supervise the country, our army will have to produce some results!"
Zhu Hongyu ascended the throne to supervise the country, and it was Zheng Chenggong who persuaded him to join.
If Yongli can really restore China in the future, not only will Zhu Hongyu be in trouble, but so will Zheng Chenggong.
Although with Yongli's ability, it is almost impossible to restore the Central Plains!
Zhu Hongyu nodded and said.
"What Lao Taishan said is true. After the enthronement ceremony, the attack on Qiongzhou will be put on the agenda as soon as possible!"
…
In the last few days before the Chinese New Year, the Li family's fleet finally arrived in Luzon from Batavia.
The old man of the Li family stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the twelve-pointed sun and moon flag flying high over the fortress that was renamed Zhenyuan City.
Before I know it, tears have already wetted my clothes!
After the ship entered the port, the military government's pilots boarded the ship to guide the ship's route and avoid the rocks and shoals in the port area.
The ship finally docked at the port. The old man of the Li family was trembling slightly. With the help of the boy beside him, he was able to get off the ship through the gangway.
At the moment when he was down to earth, big drops of tears welled up from his eyes.
"I can actually return to the land of the Ming Dynasty in my lifetime!"
"Woooooooo..."
Sniffing the salty sea breeze on the tip of his nose, the old man of the Li family actually felt a hint of sweetness.
Maybe this is not my hometown, but it is the real Han Dynasty!
However, Mr. Li's feeling that the air is sweet is not an illusion, but the environment in Port Luzon has really improved a lot after being strictly controlled by the military government.
Under the whip of the relevant departments of the military government, no one in Luzon will defecate, litter, or pour sewage anywhere...
Especially as the new year is approaching and Zhu Hongyu's inauguration ceremony is about to take place, the city appearance of Luzon has been strictly rectified by relevant departments of the military government.
Now Luzon can even be said to be the cleanest and most hygienic city in the world!
Compared with Batavia, where the entire city is filled with the smell of excrement, the air in Luzon is of course sweet.
When they entered the town of Luzon, they were enveloped in the strong New Year atmosphere.
The shops and households along the street are all decorated with lights and colorful decorations in preparation for the coming of the New Year!
The festive and cheerful atmosphere can be felt even from a few hundred meters away.
The old man of the Li family never stopped crying all the way.
In Batavia, the Dutch don't care about the Chinese New Year, they only celebrate Christmas.
Han people living in a foreign country can only close the door and celebrate on their own during the New Year.
The old man of the Li family has not experienced this kind of New Year atmosphere for decades!
Suddenly, it seemed as if I had returned to my youth.
This feeling of being in your hometown is really wonderful for a wanderer who has left home.
The streets were cleaned very clean, and the pedestrians who came and went were well-dressed.
The snow-white walls along the street are painted with:
"Drive out the Tartars and restore China!"
"Absolutely support the great leader Zhu Hongyu!"
"If one person joins the army, the whole family will be honored!"
“If you want to be rich, have more children and plant more trees!”
"Northern Expedition! Northern Expedition!"
"..."
and a series of slogans expressing political opinions.
Apart from last year's atmosphere, the strongest thing in Manila right now is the political atmosphere.
Pedestrians on the street, businessmen from far away, and soldiers returning home to visit relatives are all talking about the upcoming ceremony!
